RAYS FROM THE RANGES.
Condition Of Stock at Home, and at
Other Parts of the Territory.

The present condition of range cattle in
this portion of Northern Montana is SIM
ply appalling. The long continued cold
weather has been a severe strain on them
and with the shortness of feed tits impossi-
BILE for them to survive much longer. Num-
erous parties have been riding the range
hereabouts during the past week and they
all have the same disastrous tale to repeat,
so it may be put down as reliable, that the
stock interests are suffering severely, with
every indication of heavy losses. In the
brush along the north side of the Missouri
from this point to below the Great falls,
thousands of head have been driven by
the recent storms, and being poor, weak
and discouraged, thev are making no effort
to procure feed, and the consequence vii
be that unless a chinook comes to their
succor without dely, their dead bodies will
thickly cover the ground. In other parts
of the territory the effects of that storm
appears to have been equally as severe on
stock.

Reported Fire.

{ Rev. Clewes, who arrived here from Ft.
Shaw Monday night stated that just before
he left the Post, a message arrived, stating
that either the Grand Central hotel in Hell
ena, or the Grand Union in Benton, he
didn't understand which, had burned to
the ground. Owing to the non-arrival of
mails, nothing further has been learned at
this writing.

Badly frozen.

Dick Mansfield had the misfortune to
freeze one of his feet badly, last Tuesday,
while on the range rustling cattle. He
will likely lose some Of the toes and por-
ton of the side of the foot. This is too
bad for Dick, as it will lay him up for
some time.

Starving Crees.

A little over one year ago, a band of
seyenty-fve Cree Indians, who had taken
an aggressive part against the Canadian
government during the Reil rebellion,
sought refuge on this side of the line, and
finally settled near the head of Willow
cresk, small tributary of the north fork
of Sun river. During last summer they
lived sort Of nonnadic life, subsisting
upon berries, fish and game, but made no
provision for winter, and in consequence
the long continued cold spell reduced
them to want. The generous people Of
that section did what they could to allie
yiate their wants, and a petition was cir
culated and presented to the territorial
legislature, which body with meritous
promptitude Immediately appropriated
$500 which is to be expended in furnish
ing them with the necessaries of life.
While we have no sympathy for these
scalawags, and would suggest that they be
! removed back under the protection OF
their own government, yet SO long as they
are on American soil, we must not lei
| them starve. For this generous act we
say, 'Rah for our legislators.

Journal: The general opinion concerning

loss, while cattle put on ranges late last

suffer severely. Weak cews with calves
are also expected to fare badly

The present storm is the severest of the
season. Over six inches Of snow has fall
len since last night with prospect that it
will be foot deep tomorrow. The bot
toms are crowded with cattle seeking
shelter, and heavy losses are feared. There
is not much anxiety among sheep growers,
all the ranches being well provided with
hay. The fierce wind of yesterday has
subsidized and this at least is favorable to
cattle.-Cdtumet.

The main facts Of Ayoub's career are
comparatively fresh in public memory.
He Is the son Of Shcre Ali, the Ameer
against whom war was declared by Lord
Lytton when Yiceroy Of India. In
1879, after the murder of Sir Louis
AvaQnari, Ayoub declared himself as
The enemy of the English, and of the
Ameer, who had been set mp by Eng
lish influence, his cousin Abdurrahman.
Starting from Herat, he marched
against Candahar, and at Maiwand he
met and defeated the forces OF General
Burrows, on July 81, 1880. The
British troops withdrew to Candahar,
and were there besieged by Ayoub,
until, on September list, he was attack

General Roberts, who had marched
from Cabul in twenty three days, one

Hardly had this scandal been forgotten
when the Archdukep publicly attacked the
Austrian military system at the officers

wrote a pamphlet attacking the Aus

whereupon he was ordered to Cracow.
While there he invented an excellent
